To get from the airport to the hotel you can use the bus, taxi, rent a car or ask whether the hotel can provide a shuttle bus.

London is served by four airports and three of them offer direct flights to Malta. Heathrow is one of the busiest airports in the world and sometimes it might seem overwhelming to deal with it.

Money saving tips

It seems that finding cheap flights to Malta from London is a bit tricky and not all booking websites give relevant information. You can use the famous discount website Expedia (the co.uk site) though. Or you check the airlines’ websites, starting with the low-cost carriers.

Avoid the peak season and the weekends. Try to fly during spring or fall to find the cheapest airfare.

Book your flight in advance but since you’ll be dealing mostly with low-cost carriers don’t book too far in advance. Try to stick to about 4-6 weeks between the date of booking and departure.
